Simulation of Crack Initiation and Propagation in the Crystals of a Beam Blank

Surface cracking seriously affects the quality of beam blanks in continuous casting. To study the mechanism of surface crack initiation and propagation under beam blank mesoscopic condition, this study established a polycrystalline model using MATLAB. Based on mesoscopic damage mechanics, a full imp...
